Mardan isa private, non-profit, WASC-accredited school that has fulfilled a unique educational need in Orange County since 1962.

Our mission is to support bright children whose emotional, social, behavioral, and/or learning difficulties have impacted their ability to succeed in typical school settings.

Mardan provides an alternative for students in Pre-K through 12th grade: from at-risk primary grade children just beginning to experience difficulties in a school setting, to high school youths seeking to attain their diploma in a smaller, more individually focused and supportive setting.
Our distinctive therapeutic program is specifically tailored to nurture individual potential and create accessible opportunities for academic, social, and emotional growth.

Our team of dedicated, caring professionals values the "whole child", guiding social and emotional development as well as academic achievement, to help students find fulfillment in all aspects of their lives.

Partial scholarship assistance may be available for families who meet criteria and demonstrate need.

School Notes:

Mardan offers a primary intervention program designed for
high-risk young children who are struggling with social development
or impulsive behavior. They may be showing signs of
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum
Disorders, or may be falling behind in developing appropriate
pre-academic and social skills.

The Primary Intervention classes serve children from ages 4
through 8, grades Pre-K through 2nd grade:

Classes limited to a maximum of 10 children, with two teachers
- an experienced, credentialed master teacher and a full-time
assistant teacher

Designed as a highly structured, safe, and nurturing
environment with clear expectations and firm limits

Emphasis upon helping students learn to regulate behaviors,
develop appropriate language skills, and experience success in
their day-to-day interactions

Social skills development is integrated into program and
addressed throughout the day in a variety of ways.

The school day experience is further enriched by a variety of
support services and resources:

Regular Physical Education (P.E.) classes, under the direction
of a credentialed Adaptive P.E. Specialist. The structured program
of sports and activities help students learn skills, develop good
sportsmanship, and enjoy peer interaction.

Weekly scheduled time in the school library, where students
receive guidance on using resources to complete research and
assignments, choose books for personal reading enjoyment, and
access computer applications and the internet.

Bi-weekly group art lessons guided by the Art Teacher. Art
projects are often coordinated with classroom curriculum, and
promote art skills, appreciation, and creative exploration.

Life skills/cooking projects in the student kitchen, geared
towards teaching healthy living habits and fostering positive group
interaction and teamwork.

Regularly scheduled time in our computer lab where students
learn and practice computer and research skills, as well as
creative projects utilizing technology

Speech & Language services provided by a licensed SLP for
those students with identified needs

Clinical Psychologist on staff to provide regular and
as-needed/crisis counseling, as well as collaborate with parents
and other mental health professionals working with your child.

The Mardan High School program, grades 9th through 12th,
utilizes similar resources and strategies as in the younger grades,
but emphasizes developing the skills and strategies that will
enable students to be successful as they grow into young adults.
The program is designed for diploma-tracked students who may need a
smaller, supported environment in order to achieve graduation
requirements

Please describe academic, athletic, and extracurricular interests of the student.
